just how weird are you?

[JimboG]

I agree with the commitment thing. I've gone into many clubs and small jobs, and quit them quite soon after, worrying myself about the disappointment of the current members.

My long range eyesight is exceptional (to the extent of seeing a bird fly through a tree on the horizon, but I find it hard to focus at short range.

No other physical abnormalities, I'm afraid, but despite my obvious overeating and substandard amount of exercise, I never seem to gain weight.

Round 2! (Hope no one minds.)

I have an obsession with chewing on plastic. I will eat pretty much anything on a bet( Think gum stuck under desk. Yea, i went there.) 90% of the time I will laugh 5 minutes after i cry. I find it impossible to hold a grudge. I get bored with things really easily. I'm almost always thirsty, no matter how much I drink. I cannot live without a watch on my wrist. 99% of the animals i've met have loved me.

Despite being 6'2 and 192lbs (sounds better than 87kgs) I have an uncanny knack of sneaking up on people and scaring the sh1t out of them.

In fact, I could be behind you right now...

My final project for AP Chem 2 was a study I did on the feasibility of refining human fat into a hydrocarbon fuel that could be used to power cars. I theorized that the fat kid in class could fuel my motorcycle for 2 years based on how many miles I had put on it so far.

A Modest Proposal doesn't seem like that practical an idea as child obesity and gas prices both rise...

I am a Vampire\Werewolf hybrid and have AIDS.
IF everyone is this odd then should you reevaluate what you see as weird?
Or is gaming culture a way to socialize without dealing with all the socially accepted.

I think the Escapist is a group of intelligent misfit gamers who aren't exactly in the 'norm' so they wind up here. But onto your gaming view, you're probably right. Gaming lets you have fun regardless of who you are, and now it puts people into contact with each other (not always a good thing) without being judged for their past history or physic.

Round Two: I get really nervous over the dumbest things, but large things like death don't bother me...my emotions just seem to go on lockdown, and I can't for the sake of me feel sorrow for people killed. I feel really bad about people suffering though, to the point where I feel frustrated for not being able to help them.

This is a forum with a userbase mainly consisting of semi to full-on hardcore gamers. Hardcore gamers are all freaks. Ergo, we are all freaks (but in a good way).

While I can control myself very easily and have little to no anger management problems, I have homicidal urges. Not to just go out and kill someone in the street, because I'm not stupid. I just feel that I could kill without remorse, and efficiently. Which is kind of horrible, and freaks out alot of people, so I only tell it to those that understand.
I have no intentions of going batshit insane and shooting up my local school/shopping centre/butcher's, but it's just the truth. This is one of the reasons why I'm joining the army at some point in the future (once I burn off my gamer flab).
I also adore the Dynasty Warriors series. Some would say that is pretty weird. In fact, I just got Dynasty Warriors 6 for my Birthday (21st April). Whoo.

I'm considered to be very good at reading tarot cards, even though I don't actually believe in psychic powers. My mom found my tarot cards and flipped out because they are tools of the Devil. I don't actually believe in the Devil either. I am very superstitious though, in my own odd ways.

I told my boss I'm the most laid-back one of all the women in my family and he almost choked on his drink.

I'm extremely allergic to cats. I've been hospitalized twice for cat allergies, epinephrine shots and everything. Not particularly fun.

Epinephrine! Is it true that it gives you a hard...time of...things?
Phew. Dodged a bullet there.

Not having many things that get noticeably hard, I'm not sure how to answer that. It's an intramuscular injection that burns like hell (or did, anyway), and it tends to make the muscle around it sort of clench up, and it makes you sweat and shake like a junkie starting detox. That's what it did to me, at any rate. It's been many years now, since I am no longer foolish enough to attempt to sleep in a place in which there are cats, or even spend more than an hour or two in one. Which explains the utter death of my dating and social life. You never realize how many people have cats until the cats become a biohazard.

A lesbian that's allergic to cats? Hmmm - you might want to try being nicer to G-d.

Then again, considering you keep a pet rat that's probably just as well. Meet a nice girl, move in, and her cat eats your rat. Heartache and guilt all around. Maybe G-d likes you and is protecting you from a broken heart?

Weird things about me... hm.
Well, I don't like sunlight. When I step outside I can feel the light burning my Welsh-Australian skin and I hate it, so I never stay in the sunlight too long.
I pick up on Languages easily. Currently taking Japanese lessons and am ahead of most people in the class (apart from the French guy) because I just.. understand.
Where I live, a lot of people think I'm stuck up because of the amount of vocabulary I use. Weird vocabulary.
I'm a girl gamer (That's weird right? )
Boys don't like me because of reason above (My mum said I was cool...)
My cat, Merlin, is my best friend because he plays FFXII with me.
I'm 16 and I still love candy. Gratuitous amounts of candy. Three day digimon movie marathon candy.
I don't like other girls... because they make me feel like a boy.
I haven't gained weight in three years.
I love things to do with horror.. but when I was 12 I tried to "desensitise" myself by watching and playing a lot of horror themed things, and so now I get scared of just about anything that moves. Not to mention the zombie outbreak dreams.
I think that's about all.

 

[Limasol]

I find it impossible to make eye contact with people, but that is probably the result of private school and not genetics.
I also twitch occasionally for no reason, i have no explanation for it at all besides aftershocks of the insane amount of minor injuries i pick up.

Damn, that is a rather weird way to have your social life ruined. Sorry to hear that.

Wait 'til you hit college - you should be very popular. Sooner or later most boys figure out that the best way to reconcile girls and their other interests, given limited free time, is to find girls who are actually into the same things. The smarter ones figure this out sooner. So for most of us it's later.

 

[Fire Daemon]

I'm about as vanilla as the ice-cream flavour. Thanks everyone for reminding me how boring I am.

Don't worry, if the police find out that one of the Escapists members plan on commiting a murder then they are going to go after the rest first. Giving me plent of time to plan everything to perfec....... I mean hello.

I to am fairly Vanilla but I do find that while eating I can change whatever hand my knife/fork is in. I use this a lot to help me eat.

I was getting worried . I am kind of popular (with the geeks.. which makes me a weirdo I guess ha) but a lot of gamers prefer girls who can't beat them at SSB, apparently. Or they become a little obsessive ... okay a lot obsessive.(which scares me because I had an internet stalker once.. I should add that to the list of weird things about me)

Eh, given that you're mostly hanging around with geeks, I can see that not being so weird. Lots of geek guys don't really find girls that are interested in the same things they are, as well as would give them the time of day. So, when they DO find one, well...some try to latch on and never let go.

Or they still have no idea what to do, as is the case with me, and wind up avoiding talking to you more often than not.
